Fellfog Lore [Of the Aether Bloodline] (Read Only!!)

The Fellfog Territory and The Aether's Law [WIP]

Deep in the mountain lay a valley covered by a near-perpetual fog. Once home to the Cryptus Pack, it was taken over by a fierce lilac she-wolf, Origin, first of the Aether bloodline, with her chosen warrior and mate, End. Together, they started the Fellfog Pack. To expand their newly formed pack, the began searching for wolves who denounced their heritage. Two mate pairs joined their new pack, Molten and his mate Pyre, and Tempest and his fiery mate Ire. Shortly after their arrival, Origin, now Queen, went down the mountain with the old pack's herbalist, trading her to another pack, and returning with a banished she-wolf, brown and dappled like dying autumn leaves.

Following the arrival of the dappled she-wolf, the Queen took her and one of the bonded pairs, Tempest and Ire, and took them deeper into the mountain fog. When the four wolves returned, the brown she-wolf was a stunning golden male, fur as fierce a gold as turning leaves, and far more charming than the irritable she-wolf they had first met. Tempest and Ire were different as well, with Tempest's jet black fur now bearing some deep red, and Ire's fur seeming to grown red right down to the root. The three wolves seem to have been sworn to secrecy, but rumor has it, Molten knows what happened to them.

With the main pack now in place, and the royal pack chosen, the Queen wasted no time in sending a scout out. All the knowledge of the known lands was lost with much of the former pack having fled the night prior to the overthrow. While the scout, Molten's mate Pyre, explored the further lands, Origin began an in-depth exploration of the mountains, quickly gaining skill and experience.

In the Fellfog pack, Aether's Law is absolute. These rules, established by Queen Origin of the Aether, set the boundries and guidelines for the pack.

Rule One: Only experienced wolves may breed. This is to keep the pack strong and prevent an excessive number of pups. Any wolves seeking to breed must be at least two and a half years of age, and level ten.

Rule Two: Only one pup from each litter may be kept, excluding the Queen's litter, which may keep two pups. The pups of wanderers will only be kept if they are desirable

Rule Three: Only the chosen pups of the Queen are guaranteed a pupsitter's protection, while the normal pups are given protection based on worth. Pups of wanderers only get protection if there is an available pupsitter.

Rule Four: Outsiders are not well-liked or well-received in the Fellfog pack, with the only exception being Vixen, who actively seeks out fox-furred studs during her heats.

Fellfog Mated Pairs [WIP]

The Fellfog Pack has roughly as many males as females. This is due to the fact that the pack is primarily made of mated pairs, with the exception of the wolves in the Lodge, and Stoneclaw, who swore off a mate. Currently, there are four mated pairs in the pack: Origin and End, Ire and Tempest, Pyre and Molten, and Black Ice and Timberfall. Each pair is selective in their breeding periods.

Origin and End are the Queen and King-Mate, and have first choice of when to breed. The King-Mate is exceptionally picky, however, and will only mate once every fifteen full moons, as opposed to the Queen only need to wait twelve full moons. No wolf knows why the King-Mate is picky, though Black Ice says it is due to the harsher living conditions for loners that he waits.

Next to choose when to breed is Molten and Pyre, due to Molten's role as the Pack Herbalist. Due to his work with herbs, he must take a bit of time before mating to shake the effects of some of the herbs to ensure he can give Pyre pups. He takes time after she is with pups to pour himself back into his work.

Ire and Tempest are next in line, should neither of the others choose to breed that year. They aren't quite as keen to breed, as both are hunters, and Tempest would rather not risk his mate getting kicked while hunting if she is with pups. They only mate if another, such as Stoneclaw, can take Ire's place in the hunt.

Finally, Black Ice and Timberfall. Due to Ice's disregard for the Aether's Law, she is with pup every heat, and her pups, should they survive to adolescence, are sent down from the valley to the trade grounds and exchanged for shiny cones. Ice is not allowed to keep a single pup, as punishment for her transgressions, and any pup who cannot be exchange is cruelly chased at adolescence, is the mountains do not see to the pup's death first.
